Russia has fined Google 2 undecillion (20 decillion) USD for banning Russian TV channels from YouTube. Russia fined Google starting at 100,000 every day since the ban in 2020, with the fine doubling for every week of noncompliance.
Good to see a government sticking to their exponential fines against corporations in at least this instance. Russia has no need for Google anyway, since Yandex and co can fill the gap. This should also ensure Russia’s national sovereignty.

I’m a bit mad they didn’t fine them a googol
It might get there eventually. The fine increases by 100 000 rubles every day that Google keeps Russian media blocked. So in about 40-50 universe lifetimes, if Google doesn’t reverse its decision, the fine will be approaching a googol dollars. Depending on inflation :P
Fine doubles every week so it will take a bit over 4 more years.
Edit: Apparently if Google fails to pay the $20 decillion fine in 9 months, it will double everyday. Yikes. This means it will take a year.
Oh, you are right, I read that wrong. Apparently it started out at 100 000 rubles, and doubles every week. So yeah, we are getting there.
They will soon enough.
This would be not only for the news, but for every single filth that came out of westoid mouths in every comment section regarding WW2, USSR, nazis and their collaborators, Lenin, Stalin, Holocaust, genocide denial etc.
